PRICE IMPROVEMENT!!This classic 1950s gem features stunning hardwood floors, an updated bath, and newer kitchen appliances, all while preserving its original charm. The retro cabinetry, beautiful fireplace, and unique built-in diner seating in the kitchen give this home loads of character. An updated laundry room with a washer and dryer adds modern convenience, and the unfinished basement with 8' ceilings holds endless potential—expand the living space, create a TV room, an office, or both! The choice is yours. Relax on the covered patio with a new side and back fence and retaining wall. Freeway noise is pretty unnoticeable from inside the house. Enjoy peace of mind with a new roof and gutters. She’s all set and excited to meet her new owners! [Home Energy Score = 6. HES Report at https://rpt.greenbuildingregistry.com/hes/OR10073224]
